Empty

Dear Sarah,
I've got coffee stains around my eyes.
Is it from being exhausted, or is it because I've been crying?
Probably both.
I had to cut class early today because I couldn't even think or see straight; I was so tired.
The crying on the other hand was for Christian Siriano, the winner of this season's Project Runway, and my new best-non-friend. I was rooting for him since episode one and saw the season finale tonight. Massive applauses, applauses, and more applauses to you, Christian. You are amazing.


Dear Irene,
What a feeling.

Pulling 15 hours a day, for days on end will do that to anyone.
It's 1:20am right now -- what am I doing awake.?

Hello. Love your work and always have! It is gorgeous. I can certainly relate to pulling 15 hour days for days on end. It is the pits. I have been round the clock at my desk and mac since November and it is starting to grind me down! But, in these tricky times, being overloaded with work is a good thing! Thanks for all the inspirational art.
